Tromsø 2025

November 4th, 2025

Today we had planned to head to Sen­ja Island ear­ly in the morn­ing, but Andrea and Simone had bad headaches, and Har­ry and I were still pret­ty tired, so we just chilled out for the morning.

The trip from Trom­sø to Sen­ja takes a good three hours, so it’s best to set off ear­ly. By mid­day, we had recov­ered enough to make our way to the Fjell­heisen cable car 🚠 on Storsteinen (Trom­sø’s local moun­tain). The view from the top is fan­tas­tic, and we were now able to go to the view­ing point that was closed for the New Year’s Eve fire­works. The view of Trom­sø Island from up there is spectacular:

We stayed up there in the cold for a good two hours, wait­ing for the blue hour. Lit­tle by lit­tle, the city lights lit up below us:

I also cre­at­ed a short time-lapse video from these shots:

We then had cof­fee and cake at the restau­rant at the Fjell­heisen moun­tain sta­tion. After­wards, we took the cable car down again and drove back to our vaca­tion apart­ment, where we pre­pared din­ner and end­ed the evening in a cozy atmos­phere. The next day, we planned to leave for Sen­ja quite early.
